- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this fourth book of the series, the Prologue is important. There are a lot of characters to keep up with. For those readers who do other things than read books for a living, this is a valuable tie in to the previous three books.This book has a lot more action, and surprises, than book three. Sutton continues to bemoan her inability to give physical assistance to Emma when Sutton sees, or thinks, Emma is in danger. Emma likes to sneak around in her search for clues. While logical, she always gets caught rummaging through someone’s room. There was a close call at Dr. Mercer’s office, though. Thayer remains an enigma. We still don’t quite know where he disappeared to. We find out that he and Sutton witnessed something in a canyon that involved Sutton’s (now Emma’s) adopted father, Dr. Mercer. Whatever happened quite possibly resulted in Sutton’s death.Sutton’s friends and even family (Dad and Laurel) are all off again, on again, suspects. This carries on from book three, but serious consideration of dad is a new twist.Emma makes some new and quite interesting discoveries in this book, but new doubts arise. The character of Mrs. Mercer has not been previously developed. With new revelations in this book, questions about Mrs. Mercer have to be answered.Why doesn’t Emma just give up and run away? She has a few thousand dollars and some possessions hidden with a friend. Why not just disappear? Let’s count the reasons up to now. 1) There is Thayer (romance). 2) She would become a murder suspect. 3) There is Thayer. 4) There is the very comfortable, wealthy lifestyle she is living as Sutton. 5) There is Thayer. 6) There is Ethan (primary love interest. 7) There is Thayer.It seems that there are still a few issues to work out in subsequent books.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Hide and Seek, the fourth book in The Lying Game series has three suspects on who killed Sutton. The first is Sutton's sister, Laurel. She might have flown in a jealous rage after Thayer was hit by an unknown person and killed Sutton. The second suspect is Ted Mercer. He might have killed Sutton to try to hide an alleged affair. These suspects are the bulk of the book. Laurel is cleared halfway when Emma discovers she spent all night at the hospital with Thayer and Mr. Mercer is cleared near the end when he comes clean about everything:
A. He is not having an affair. The woman he was with was Sutton's and Emma's biological mother, Becky!
B. Becky is his and Kristin's daughter. Meaning he's actually Sutton's and Emma's biological grandfather!
That's right. Apparently, Becky was disturbed and a wild child and she ran away from home and came back pregnant. Why she split up the twins is a mystery. This leads to the third suspect: Becky. Becky is unhinged and the real Sutton hadn't taken the news well about Ted being her real grandfather. She ran off into the night!
What if Becky caught up with her...
That's probably not the case but it would have been interesting. Honestly, my money's on Ethan. He just knows too many random things about Sutton. And where exactly did he go after the party got busted?
Does Sara Shepard plan these storylines? Because they fit so well to have been done at random. I understand the complaints about the repetitiveness of The Lying Game series: Emma gets a suspect, they do a bunch of shady things, Sutton's fragmented memories point to said suspect and then they're cleared and the cycle repeats.
That's why I liked Hide and Seek so much. I got three suspects and my main questions answered. Bravo, Shepard, bravo. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Pro: You can skip an entire book and the story still makes sense.
Con: You can skip an entire book and the story still makes sense.
Pro: Birth mom backstory!
Con: Introduction of the Devious Four.
So evidently, I missed book 3 when I grabbed these from the library, which means I missed the book where Thayer was cleared as a suspect.
The twin's birthmother's backstory is explained in this novel, but there is some math that doesn't make sense. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5
Damn. I hate cliffhangers so much now. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'd give Hide and Seek 4.5 stars because of a twist that I definitely didn't expect! The rest of the book went almost EXACTLY the way I thought it would, but I still enjoyed it. There's something about these books that I just can't get enough of. I listen to the audiobook version, and the narrator (Cassandra Morris) is absolutely perfect for the series. I can't wait until the next one comes out. It's definitely getting more and more interesting.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the fourth installment in The Lying Game series by Sara Shepard, as you can see, and it was, by far, the best. Unlike the first three, which seemed to just focus on one suspect the whole book and then discover at the end that it couldn't be them, this one had a lot more twists and turns and surprises. I honestly enjoy The Lying Game more than Pretty Little Liars. I think it's because it's still new-ish, but also because Emma isn't crazy. And Sutton, in death, isn't either. While I love Pretty Little Liars, those girls are insane. This book got down to the gritty details of Sutton's life, her adoption, the truth (it seems) about Emma and Sutton's birth mother. Finally, it seems we have some real answers. Clearly, not all of them, or anywhere near all of them, but still. The ending was great - of course; Sara Shepard is the queen of "Oh-my-God, What?!" endings. I can't wait for the next one.
